Gem Preschool & Kindergarten, Kulai, Johor, offers children aged 2 to 6 years old a nurturing environment that allows for a very individual attention to the unique needs of each student. It is housed in a spacious, three-storey shop lot containing all the key facilities of a purposeful preschool environment, including developmentally appropriate learning spaces, reading corner, indoor playground, garden and cooking classroom. Established in 2018, the kindergarten prides itself on the reputation of providing a positive learning experience to those who are enrolled here, with an eye to educating students to be independent and confident lifelong learners.
At Gem Preschool & Kindergarten, children are taught using a balanced and well-rounded curriculum that is guided by the principles of the Montessori and thematic approaches, as well as the requirements of our national preschool education system. Close attention is given to the holistic development of children during these significant formative years, making sure they are set up for a healthy and successful life ahead.
Within this robust curriculum, children are introduced to subjects and learning areas including English, Mandarin, Bahasa Malaysia, Mathematics, Science, Geography, Practical Life and Culture, Art and Craft, Kindermusik and Cooking. Lessons are taught using interesting and thoughtfully planned themes so that children can get the best out of each subject. Apart from this, exciting events such as festive celebrations, field trips, sport’s days, concerts and graduation ceremonies are in place to keep children motivated by the learning process.
By harnessing children’s natural curiosity and their proclivities to discover, the teachers at Gem Preschool & Kindergarten maximise learning by providing plenty of opportunities for children to stay engaged in meaningful activities. Throughout the day, children are encouraged to be active learners, constructing new knowledge as they explore the world around them, building social-emotional skills as they work alongside friends, and improving independence and self-confidence as they problem-solve their way through the learning process.
A key feature that stands out at Gem Preschool & Kindergarten is their use of a dermatoglyphics test which uses fingerprint patterns and ridges to identify each child’s unique potential and personality. This allows teachers to come out with personalised lesson plans based on the child’s innate abilities and learning styles so that he can reach his fullest potential. It is evident that graduates of Gem Preschool & Kindergarten benefit from this, on top of the enriching curriculum, as they emerge more skillful at various aspects of their development than peers. Besides, parents can also benefit from knowing more about their child’s natural character.
The success of students at Gem Preschool & Kindergarten is also attributed to the teachers’ concerted efforts to provide children with a positive journey for a smooth entry into their future life. All teachers are Montessori certified and are required to receive ongoing in-house training every year to ensure they maintain their standards in teaching. It is the prime goal of Gem Preschool & Kindergarten to manage the overall health, safety and well-being of each in their care.
